CAROLINA BEACH - A long standing building at 101 Cape Fear Blvd. is currently being demolished to make way for a future development. In the interim, the lot may host amusement rides during the summer of 2021.
According to the Federal Point Historic Society, the building was built in the early 1940 s and was home to the, Bame Esso Service Station and Grocery next door. The station and grocery was run by J. C. “Mike” Bame. It started as just a station, later they added the grocery store and a second story with rooms to rent. Eventually another two story building was added to the back that housed apartments.
